News reports are out that that NHTSA is still getting Unintended Acceleration complaints from Toyotas which have apparently been repaired with the various recall fixes.
What is going on?
I think that what we are seeing is normal cases of UI, which happen to all brands of vehicles, amplified through the media and the Toyota recall frenzy. In other words, people hitting the wrong pedal, or both pedals.
It is unreasonable to expect that Toyota's repairs will drive the number of UI cases to zero. Instead, it should reduce them to "background" rates, similar to the other major automakers.
